Local high school football players sign with college teams

High school football players officially accept college football scholarships

High school football players across the country will be sitting down Wednesday to sign agreements to play for their dream colleges.

One Greenwood high school senior says he’s been waiting for this day for years.

“I remember last year, I remember looking at some of the other players signing,” says Drew Morgan, who will play for the Razorbacks this fall. “It’s my time now. I’m excited. I couldn’t be signing for a better place.”

Greenwood’s head football coach, Rick Jones, says Morgan has worked hard to get the option to play for the Hogs.

“Drew is probably as versatile a guy as I have ever coached in my whole life,” says Jones. “He can do everything. We’re real excited to watch him play at Arkansas.”

Morgan is expected to start off as a wide receiver for the Hogs.

Another area high school is sending five students off to big name colleges on football scholarships.

Fayetteville high school’s head football coach says his players are excited for the next step in their lives.

“I don’t want to see them go. I don’t want to start over,” says Fayetteville head coach Daryl Patton. “But, I’m awfully proud of them. They’re young men now who are getting ready to take the next step in their lives.”
